Spectral CT scans for cervical cancer radiotherapy
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT) to see if it can better guide radiation therapy for cervical cancer. It is for people who are already receiving chemotherapy and radiation together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have cervical cancer confirmed by a biopsy or other pathology test.
- You are planning to receive chemotherapy and radiation therapy together.
- You will have a special type of CT scan (called spectral CT) that takes images during two phases: right after contrast dye is injected and a bit later.
- You must have had a PET/CT scan (using a radioactive tracer called FDG) before starting treatment.
- You cannot have an allergy to the contrast dye used in CT scans.
- You must not be pregnant or possibly pregnant.

This study looks at whether a PET scan (FDG-PET/CT) and blood HPV testing can help track cervical cancer responses during and after standard chemo-radiation. It may help doctors better understand who is responding and who may need different care.
This study tests whether special light-based scans (optical spectroscopy) can help detect cervical cancer. It may be done around colposcopy, and participants may also be monitored with follow-up Pap smears after treatment.
This trial uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT) to see how far breast cancer has spread. The results may help doctors stage the cancer more precisely, which can guide treatment decisions.
This trial is testing a new way to look at CT scans (called spectral imaging) to see if it can better detect lung cancer in people who are suspected of having it. If you are being referred for lung cancer testing, this study may help doctors get clearer information from your scans.
This trial uses a special CT scanner to get clearer images of colorectal cancer before treatment, which may help doctors more accurately determine how far the cancer has spread. The goal is to plan the most effective treatment.
This study uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT with contrast dye) to get a more accurate picture of liver cancer. This may help doctors better understand the stage of the cancer and guide treatment decisions.
